Age: "I don't keep track,” he laughed.

Page is a Student Book Store (SBS) supervisor with tenure just shy of 37 years. Being around campus so long, Page has seen a lot of changes. Back in the day, Page said, the building that now houses SBS used to be a movie theater. But the fresh faces on campus never cease to bring him enjoyment.

"Every year, there are new students coming in. It’s funny to watch them; how they react. It’s a big book store. ... I like watching people here. It’s enjoyable. Helping customers is another thing. (I) make sure they find their textbooks, art supplies and different things."
